Wow… what a blessed couple weeks it’s been as we celebrated Palm Sunday, held my installation, observed Holy Week, and gathered together with other Christians in Lake City for our Community Easter Service of the Resurrection. This Sunday, April 11th begins the second week of Eastertide and we’ll be celebrating communion, so please remember to prepare your communion elements if you’re joining us via Zoom (link below).
If you’re planning on attending the service in person, I’d ask that you let me know via phone or email by Saturday night, so that I can prepare the Lord’s Supper for the service. This Sunday we’ll be exploring the the text from 1 John 1:1-2:2. You can read it and the other lectionary texts for the week here.
There will be games on Monday night, but we will not be having Bible Study this week, as I’m still on study leave (which is going well). The elders will also be gathering on Wednesday, for our April Session meeting, so if there is something you’d like to share with them, please do so soon. Below you will find your weekly announcement and the links needed for this weeks activities.

Blessed Good Friday to all. I hope this post finds you all in thoughtful dispositions as we make our final trek toward Easter morning, when we will finally proclaim, “Christ is Risen!”
Today, there are three Good Friday opportunities to help you observe this holy day. This Sunday we’re back in the Armory for our Lake City Churches’ Community Easter Service (but with a limited capacity of 100). If you’d prefer to remain at home for the service, it will be broadcasted through Zoom (link below) and through Facebook. Beyond our Holy Week gatherings, in the week ahead, there are a few changes to our regular schedule.
First, for most of the two weeks following Easter, I will be on study leave (starting April 7th). As many of you know, I’m working with two other authors to revise a book on intergenerational Christian formation. I’ll still be in Lake City (should you need anything), but during this period, there will be NO Bible Study. We will return to our weekly Wednesday Bible Study on April 21st.
There will be Games Up Here this week, however, so feel free to join us for that on Monday night, April 5th at 7pm. And, even though I’ll be on study leave, I’ll still be leading and preaching in our Sunday Lord’s Day Worship Services.
Below, you’ll find the Good Friday service schedule, the Zoom links to the Community Easter Service, and the orders of worship bulletins for both.
Good Friday, April 2, 2021 12:00pm Mid-Day service at St. James Episcopal Church (only in person)

This Sunday, March 28th, is the sixth Sunday of Lent, Palm Sunday, and my Installation as your Minister of Word and Sacrament. And if that wasn’t enough, our Sunday worship service will also be at 10:30am (until 12:00), with a coffee and cookie reception after the service. In this week’s sermon, I’ll be exploring Mark’s narrative of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. If you’d like to read the Psalm and the preaching text, you can find them here, and if you’d like to read the Old Testament and New Testament lessons, you can read them here.
As it is Palm Sunday tomorrow, we will be distributing palm reeds in the morning; however, if you’re planning on joining us via Zoom and you’re in town, swing by the church today (from noon until 9:00pm) and pick up your palm reed (one per person please). They will be in front of the church in a bucket. 🙂
This week is Holy Week and consequently, there are a few adjustments in our weekly activities. There will be NO games on Monday night, but we will be showing the movie The Passion of the Christ, by Mel Gibson. The show will start at 7:00pm in the Annex and will conclude around 9:00pm. If you’ve never seen this movie, it’s a fitting way to transition into the Passion of Holy Week.
